• OCG: unit or lesson (content/subject or library) documented in the OCG? Library Content Area, Research Skills
• Grade level of the students: Choir
• Description of the instructional activities: Students learned about the databases that helped them find the information they need to complete the project (Worldbook, NetTrekker). Famous Musician.pdf I also encouraged them to use the ikeepbookmarks site created with Musician websites. Briefly the Big6 Research model was described as well. compmusicians.doc Students were also reminded of website evaluation using REAL.
• Method(s) of assessment and results of assessment(s): No assessment given
• Reflection: How did it go? What will you change next time? The book talk and video are always a hit and I have many students participate in the reading of the nominees. I wish I could give every student a nominee to read, because students are so excited to read them and I often need to ration them so several students in every CA class get a chance at checking one out.

Students were also reminded of website evaluation using REAL. Students need to find examples of music, so legally optaining music was discussed. World Music.pdf
• Method(s) of assessment and results of assessment(s): No assessment given
• Reflection: How did it go? What will you change next time? The project went well, so stumbling blocks as we tried to locate music. I liked that this year students had a more focused direction and more realistic deadline. They were forced to work everyday in their short three days. In the past these classes came to the library to research for five days, when the research only took three days.
